That being said, it’s clear that achieving that “incredible” level of “sister-brother” relationship hasn’t been entirely easy for the peculiar couple. “Divorce is terrible, it was very painful, it was very hard,” Paltrow admitted. “We really genuinely wanted our children to be as unscathed as possible.”

She added: “We thought if we could really maintain the family even though if we weren’t a couple, that was kind of the goal and that’s what we’ve tried to do.”

And as further proof that her romance with Martin is ancient history, the Oscar winner recently confirmed that she is engaged to her producer boyfriend, Brad Falchuk, after dating for 3 years. The couple announced the news on the Love & Sex issue of her magazine, The Goop.

As for Chris Martin, he has certainly shown that he’s moved on with his life after the mediatic divorce “conscious uncoupling” with Gwyneth. Since October of last year, the musician has been romantically linked to the Fifty Shades Freed star, actress Dakota Johnson.
